A high-contrast serif italic with crisp hairlines and sharper, wedge-like serifs that give the letterforms a chiseled, calligraphic feel. Stems show pronounced thick–thin modulation with gently tapered terminals, and the italic construction produces a lively rightward slant and flowing rhythm across words. Uppercase forms are narrow and poised with clean entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase is compact with clear counters and a slightly springy baseline, helped by long ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic stress, reading as elegant figures suited to display as well as text-sized settings.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, pull quotes, and refined book interiors where an italic voice is needed without losing clarity. It also fits premium branding, invitations, and packaging that benefit from an elegant, classical italic presence, and can serve effectively in headings or subheads where its contrast and rhythm can shine.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than casual warmth. Its sharp contrast and italic movement suggest luxury, formality, and a classic literary voice, with an expressive, slightly dramatic cadence in longer passages.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with heightened elegance through strong contrast and sharp, carefully controlled terminals. It balances classic proportions with a more fashion-forward crispness, offering an italic that can function both as a complementary text style and as a standalone, expressive typographic voice.
Spacing appears open enough to keep the strong contrast from clogging in text, and the diagonal stress is consistently maintained across rounds and bowls. Several glyphs show distinctive, pointed terminals and fine hairline joins that reward higher-resolution or print-oriented use.
